Hi Mic, what I found very useful whilst learning DBMM was to put some elements down on a table and work out a few situations such as moves, move into combat, distance combat and close combat and check out what happens as a result. It helps if you can find an opponent who can then iron out the bits that you may have got wrong or confused about. Another thing to do is to enter a DBMM competition. Dont worry about making gaffs etc, just tell your opponent your a complete newbie and they will be more than willing to explain things or point things out as you go along.
